Nobody can explain how he isn't a legend

[Stew]

His wikipedia page is a lot smaller than Id imagine it to be.

 

[Stew]

This is the only certification he's listed for. Interesting.

 

[caddo man]

[CapitalB]

No disrespect to the people who voted no but I no way you consider yourself a Hip Hop Head if you don't understand the importance of "The Message" and what that did for the culture....being apart of that song alone gets him into legendary status

 

[BusterBreeze]

Baby Got Back was huge for the culture........

I don't even know enough about Melle Mel to know how to vote but bruh comparing those 2 songs is disrespectful

 

[saracenwire]

The Message and White Lines automatically make him a legend.

 

[Shizlansky]

Pioneer yes, legend no.

In this case.

They are both one in the same

Melle was arguably the first story teller in in hip hop... Its hard to even explain the levels of legendary that Melle holds lol Sir Mix A Lot's 'Babys Got Back' wasnt anything that '2 Live Crew' hadnt done...

 

[BedStuy]

Ban whoever votes no

No disrespect to the people who voted no but in no way can you consider yourself a Hip Hop Head if you don't understand the importance of "The Message" and what that did for the culture....being apart of that song alone gets him into legendary status
